Mahabbah Love Khalisa

78

Khalisa's body felt so light that he climbed three steps at once to Renata and Jaya's room on the top floor. Khalisa ignored the existence of the elevator because he felt his legs were faster than the elevator.

Azfan who was not far behind saw Khalisa worried, afraid if Khalisa's legs were wrongly grounded and fell. But until the last rung of stairs, Khalisa can pass through it smoothly. Khalisa's movement is agile even though he wears a long robe.

"Geez!" Khalisa yelled barging into the room past several ARTs that were clustered in front of the room. Everyone saw Khalisa's arrival with a sad look.

Daniel slightly retreated to make room for Khalisa, covering his face wet with tears. He turned his back on not being able to see Renata again. Daniel dropped a hug on Ica who was right behind him.

Khalisa was stunned to see Renata's body lying stiff on the bed. His eyes were closed with his lips tightly closed. Khalisa's cry broke when he hugged Renata—'s body - someone who always cared about Khalisa's feelings.

Zunaira who did not fully understand what was going on was crying and hugging Ica's leg.

Azmal sat in the corner of the room hugging his own legs, just as Jaya was a quiet person. His cries were not heard but it just proved how grievous Azmal was at the moment.

Azfan was glued to the door, he could not step again when he saw Aisyah sitting on the floor crying bitterly while holding Renata's feet.

Khalisa called Renata name repeatedly roared crying shaking her Ama body. But Renata did not dwell at all.

Khalisa held Renata's neck which still felt a little warm but the rest of her limbs had cooled down. Khalisa stared fixedly at Renata, how could Renata have died when Khalisa was not at his side. It was only about 15 minutes after Khalisa went to the airport.

"Ama just thought who would pray for Ama because Ama's children, sons and grandchildren are all Muslims."

"Why is Ama talking like that?"

"Ama wanted to see the great-grandsons of Ama who was born Khalisa, Kafa and other grandchildren of Ama but Azfan—you know that as much money as Ama has it can not prolong life."

Azfan recalled the conversation he and Renata had a few days ago. Azfan had absolutely no inkling that Renata was going to leave. Azfan thought those sentences were just a grandmother's worry about taking her grandson off. Renata will be gone forever. Renata no longer has a chance to see his great-grandson. God called him first.

Azfan stepped closer to Khalisa and rubbed his back gently, he was amazingly surprised because just a moment ago he could still see Renata's smile. But Azfan knew Khalisa was much more sad.

"It's all because of Cece!" Kafa suddenly shouted.

Khalisa raised his face looking at Kafa who threw a sharp glare at him. Although Khalisa's vision was clouded by tears but he could clearly see the face full of Kafa's anger.

Aisha and Umar who were also in the room were shocked to hear Kafa's cry. Daniel and Ica. Why Khalisa is cited as the reason for Renata's death. Age is determined by God.

"For Cece to marry him, Ama so think Cece continues until sick, when the hell Cece aware?" Kafa approached Khalisa.

Khalisa trembled at Kafa's curse, why his cousin's sister could say such a thing when they were both sad and lost.

"Because!" Umar snapped, "why say it's the same Cece?" Umar pulled Kafa's body. Azfan also protected Khalisa from Kafa's rampage. "Dare you say that again same Cece, you get out of the house, Papa take all your facilities again!" Umar's emotions peaked, he never taught Kafa to be that high-hearted.

"Of now gini, Cece choose me who has a blood relationship with Cece or he who has not even one year Cece knows?" Kafa does not want Khalisa's perfect life to be ruined because of the marriage.

"Kafa quit." Tegur Aisyah, he could not stand the behavior of his eldest son.

Kafa looked at Khalisa waiting for an answer.

Khalisa took a deep breath and closed his eyes rubbing his face wet with tears.

"Why I know what you mean" Khalisa opened his eyes to Kafa's gaze. "I was willing to lose all this luxury to choose Mas Azfan." Actually Khalisa did not want to argue like this let alone the situation they were in mourning. But Khalisa has to make this clear to Kafa. Khalisa had no problem with all Kafa's treatment of him. But when Kafa offended Azfan, Khalisa did not accept. Kafa has gone too far, however it is Khalisa's choice.

Kafa is stunned to hear Khalisa's answer he never expected. Khalisa did not love him very much as a sister but he still chose Azfan.

"Sorry, you don't know anything about marriage, for a wife, God's love is in the husband's hands, please stop fighting this, please forgive Cece." Khalisa sincerely apologized for the umpteenth time to Kafa for disappointing him. Khalisa knew Kafa's intentions well but for this time he was unable to accept the kindness.

Azfan clasped Khalisa's hand when he heard the sentence. Azfan was touched because Khalisa said it in front of everyone but at the same time he felt sad because Khalisa had to break his brotherly relationship with Kafa. But if Kafa wants to open his heart a little and respect Khalisa's choice, it won't happen.

"I will never forgive Ce Khalisa." Kafa stomped his feet out of the room.

Khalisa did not care if Kafa did not forgive him, he approached Renata and rubbed along her Ama arm. Khalisa's tears melted again, he really did not expect that Renata would leave so soon. Khalisa has made clothes for Renata's birthday. But Renata had no chance to wear it. If Khalisa knew Renata would die, he would allow Renata to wear the dress she wanted.

"Akong, I'm sorry Khalisa." Khalisa went down to the floor grasping Jaya's wrinkled hands and smelling them. Khalisa looked at Jaya who was not crying but implying deep sadness. Jaya's pair of eyes dimmed as if there was no more spirit in her. Jaya never cries in front of many people, she will spill her sadness in her own time.

That afternoon Renata's room was filled with a rain of tears. The sunlight that barged in through the window smiled widely as if it wanted to comfort everyone inside there.

Jaya rubbed Khalisa's shoulders shaking violently, Khalisa sobbed his face in Jaya's lap.

"Wake up baby." Pinta Jaya with a hoarse voice. "Ama just wants Khalisa to be happy."

Khalisa moved from the floor, his gaze suddenly turning dark.

Bruk!

Khalisa could hear the sound of his body hitting the floor but he could not open his eyes.

"Maura!" Azfan's voice could still be captured by Khalisa's auditory senses but after he didn't hear anything else.
